Bob, your car is a late model '64 TR4. Was built sometime after mine
(CT33118L - the L means left hand drive - mine was built in May '64). TR4's
were built in numbered sequence from 1961 (CT1) to Jan '65 (CT40304) when
production switched to the TR4A's (with CTC 50xxx etc.).
A look at the number on the other car will give you an idea of when that was
built. Suggest you buy a book entitled "Original Triumph TR" by Bill
Piggott. Good reading and it will give you a wealth of info. ( As always -
it is not infallible but ---)
As for the "triumph list". It is a mail list for TR owners or interested
folks. About 500 or so nice, friendly knowledgable people from all over the
world. There are two options 1) the list itself - which will give you up to
20 or so messages per day about all kinds of Triumphs or 2) the digest - a
summary, of the messages on the list, once a day. I suggest that you sign up
for the list and try it for about a week. If the mail is too much you can
unsubscribe and then subscribe to the digest. Here is how to get on:
1) Send a msg to: majordomo@autox.team.net
2) Leave the "Subject" blank
3) In message (or text) section type: subscribe triumphs
You will get a welcoming message from the list. This message will give you
instructions on how to post mail, change to the digest etc. Let me know when
you are on, then I suggest that you lurk for a few days to see how it goes.
Also - If you have a problem getting on the list come back to me and we'll
work it.
You might want to consider joining a local club and the Vintage Triumph
Register. And feel free to e-mail me directly anytime. Cheers.
